@YUMYUMHAMBURGERS I still haven't seen it yet. I've been putting it off because I don't think I can deal with the emotions just yet. And me too, I love sincerity and should watch more of his feature length stuff. I'm sure I would enjoy it.
I feel like I won't be the first to recommend this. You, probably like me, have someone else's Criterion login/password and saw that Hal Hartley's films were featured. You ALSO didn't know about him despite being a self-appointed cinephile, so you watched them all, loved most of them and bought the ones you could afford in DVD format on ebay.
Anyway, I recommend the films of Hal Hartley. They're kinda perfect and idk why no one ever references them. Or maybe I'm the last to know?
I love what I’m seeing from Tyler. His movies are strange and special, his latest, Harper’s Comet has no dialogue and is so beautiful, funny, and sad. Just dive in, you’ll thank me later.
“Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism – it's my least favorite quality, and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.”
dealing with disappointment but remembered this and realised it might not work out the way i planned out but that's okay. made it my lockscreen to remember it. also context - NBC was really fucking him over here. it was his last tonight show episode I think, so it means a lot that he specifically was like cynicism leads nowhere.
Great film directed by Gurinder Chadha. About a British Indian girl who joins a women's football team which her parents don't approve of. This film made waves for British Asian representation. It does a great job of balancing social commentary with comedy.
